_conditions = { gtk.GDK.INPUT_READ: 'Read', gtk.GDK.INPUT_WRITE: 'Write',

# This is here because SOMETIMES, GTK tells us about this # condition (wtf is 3!?! GDK.INPUT_EXCEPTION is 4!) even though we

These are *bit flags*, so 3 is INPUT_READ & INPUT_WRITE. I'm not sure what the correct course of action is to take here; I tried calling both doRead and doWrite, but that only resulted in brokenness.

# don't ask. I believe this is almost always indicative of a # closed connection. 3: 'Read' }
